At some point you start seeing right through the BS of badly run teams- it’s comfort in short term, the money hitting feels good but you know the team won’t go far and you’ll be facing the music of choosing short term comfort sooner than later.
While I’m scared I’m not unhappy atleast. I’m happy and I’m excited to build from here.

Keep aside the contests but still commend its good performance.
Mods, you are a part of the problem.
In October 2023, I joined a newly established boutique law firm focused on transactions. I've been working here since, earning ₹35k per month. My overall experience includes 1.5 years as an associate and a total of 3.5 years, combining my roles as an associate and CS intern.
Currently, I am considering a switch as I’m dissatisfied with my current pay. The firm has no leave policy, meaning my pay is deducted for every leave I take, and there are no Saturdays off. Although the work environment is relatively non-toxic and the work hours are somewhat flexible, the partner lacks expertise in transactions or corporate law, leaving me responsible for educating him and managing all client-related tasks, besides handling my juniors and reviewing there work. The work includes deal structuring, due diligence, drafting of definitive documents, and post-closing compliance amongst other things. Given these responsibilities, I believe I should be compensated more fairly.
I need your advice as I’m uncertain about how much I should expect to earn at my next law firm. I believe that an in-hand salary of ₹65k-₹70k would be reasonable. What do you think? Additionally, if I were to stay at my current firm, how much of a raise should I be asking for?
tell us your experience in either set of senior, how was your experience, how did it shape your career, what benefitted you, and what did you thought that opportunity lacked?

moderator if you can bookmark it, thanks.
Unless there's something newsworthy that's happening in a court or there is a new law or regulation on reservations, or an institution changes its policy, the repeated bashing of reservation issue is mostly a political / culture war issue that is weaponised by trolls on both sides and doesn't lead to anything helpful or interesting for other commenters, and is therefore clearly contrary to the published guidelines.
Have requested the mods and would also request readers to stop submitting such obviously trollish contents, it does not help the quality of discussion (or voting) on the site.
How is pay, culture, seniors?
If you analyse the firms in Hyderabad, you'll notice that there isn't a single firm which has a renowned litigation partner. That's where the firms are falling behind. For law firms to grow in Hyderabad, they need to have a name in litigation first. A lot of the non litigation work in Hyderabad actually goes to litigation lawyers only. There are non litigation lawyers in Hyderabad who are making an insane amount of money. It's just that they're not from big law firms so they go under the radar.
The market is still developing. There are some tier 1s that are planning to enter/re-enter Hyderabad, so things should get better eventually. I'm sure within 3 years there will be a significant change in the law firm space in Hyderabad. But Law firms in Hyderabad can't achieve their full potential unless they adopt a different strategy compared to what they follow in other cities.
